Students withdrawing from the program are required to submit a letter of resignation to the coordinator, stating the reason for his/her withdrawal and the effective date of resignation. Any student, who fails to return from an approved leave of absence, is also considered to have withdrawn.

Students, who withdraw from the program or who are terminated from the program and wish to return at a later date, must submit his/her request in writing to the coordinator.

Readmission into the program will be based on: a) faculty evaluation of the student’s potential for successes; 5. The student will return at the beginning of the trimester following the last trimester he/she completed satisfactorily (81% or higher) upon approval of faculty. Students who were dismissed from the program due to failure of theory and/or clinical will be on probation for the first eight weeks, and must achieve 81.0% by that evaluation date. 6. A post-withdrawal disbursement is a disbursement made to a student who has withdrawn, but who has earned more aid than has been disbursed.. No return of funds is made if a student/parent is eligible to receive a post-withdrawal disbursement. After all charges are paid, a disbursement will be offered to the student/parent within 30 days of withdrawal. A written notice will be sent to the borrower regarding the type and amount credited to their account, their right to cancel the excess funds, or to disburse the credit balance in the time frame outlined in the regulations. |
